Partners4Pets: Weekend Update-Oct. 1 and 2, 2011

   Adoptions were really good this weekend. There were 12 dogs and 4 cats that went to new homes. THe dogs were Daffney, Missy, Lawrence, Lavinia, Willow, Pippa, Nicolet, Cutie, Herbert, Lady, Gordon, amd Lambeau. The kitties were Scraggle, Ringo, Emmy, and Pippet. Emmet went on a trial and is doing well I hear. We were able to take in 5 dogs and a litter of kittens, one kitten, and a big orange boy with really bad ears. He has scratched them so much he has really injured himself.
   The Purina Pet Project at Purina Farm was so nice. I hadn't been there for a while and they have a really beautiful building just perfect for an adoption event. There was a nice turnout and about 30 rescue/ animal controls, shelters there. We didn't have any adoptions but met alot of very nice people. There were herding demo's, vendors and lots of dogs and cats. Hope they have another one there. Thanks to Katie, Adrienne, Kate and Rebecca for helping with the booth and the dogs.
   The Monsanto contest is on and we need people to vote. Stray Rescue is ahead with over 33K votes but the second and third place of 10 K and 5K are still in reach. If we could get 200 people to vote every day we would have a very good chance. Please tell your friends and don't forget to vote. Every day til the 16th.
   Next weekend we will be at the O'Fallon Petsmart on Sat. for the first time. Sunday at Glen. The roadblock for Glen Carbon on the 8th was not approved because we had already done one for the year. The roadblock for Troy on the 15th is still on. The Howloween party at FCB bank in Troy is Oct. 22 and will be lots of fun. There are 25 vendors so far, food, costume contest, and adoptions. Dress your doggie or kitty for the contest.
